A beautiful hotel. In the calm Thai style. Let down only by providing the smoking area in the main walkway from our rooms and right next to the games room. This new since we first discovered this place 3 years ago. I might reconsider returning next year and look for a hotel more friendly to non smokers.

Reasonable price, new hotel, breakfast is acceptable. Dont expect too much as it is just 4 stars hotel. But value for money if you are budget traveler, at least clean and tidy.

With lower prices on accommodation, travellers can enjoy a budget-friendly holiday filled with visits to beaches, islands, and quaint small towns that exude a romantic and relaxing atmosphere, along with ample opportunities for shopping, dining, and experiencing local culture.
Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: Hotels.com offers Dealsopens in new window that may help you secure savings on hotels for Phuket when your travel date approaches. For those seeking a spontaneous getaway, the Last-Minute Deals section could reveal discounted rates on hotels near your departure date.

Enable email alerts or push notifications to stay informed about flash sales and special promotions, so you never miss an opportunity to save on your trip to Phuket.
Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate due to various factors, including the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates could assist you in finding a more affordable stay in a Phuket hotel. For those seeking distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and can sometimes represent better value. When you make a booking through Hotels.com, we will inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price appears to be on the higher end, we can suggest alternative dates that may help you discover a more advantageous rate.
Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive; however, thanks to Phuket's excellent public transport links, you might discover a more affordable independent hotel a bit further out that remains well-connected. For those interested in exploring alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often great value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
